Bed hands are often due to other
causes than those directly Influenced
by the weather. Sometimes they are
caused by wearing gloves which are a
trille too small and at others by a How i
of blood to the liamla. When the lat
ter Is the case it will be best to exer
cise the hands by working them back
ward and forward from the wrist. This
will restore the circulation to Its nor
mal state and the redness will disap
pear. When tight gloves are respon
sible for the redness the remedy nat
urally lies In discarding them. Some
women Imagine that a small glove
makes the hand appear smaller. This
is by no means the case. Loosely fit
ting gloves are not only better for the
hands, but give them a small effect so
Ions as they are not extremely large
and are much more comfortable In
warm weather.
To remove tan from the hands a
cream should be applied at night and
gloves about three sizes too large worn

cream take two ounces of casti.u soap,
two ounces of olive oil. one ounce of
mutton suet and one ounce cf alcohol.
Melt the soap after shredding it Into
small pieces, then melt the suet, clarl
fy it and add to the soap, warm th.
oil onl add this next, and rin.illy the
alcohol, beating all together to a
cream. Place in a Jar and apply to
the hands, rubbing the crearn in with

a side, according to the desired size.
The work ts done in white mercerized
